the pixel density is about that of a modern compact, back of the envelope calulation suggests about the same as 10Mpixels on a 1/2.5" sensor. So i guess low light performance would be comparable to modern compacts.
By all means introduce those in education to new and innovative methods in teaching, be it tech based or otherwise. Show them how it works, how to use it, and the benefits of using those methods.
However, leave it at their discretion to decide if method/tech X is suitable for their classroom. That they are on your payroll suggests you trust them to make such decisions.
oh, and half of it is sky which doesnt really count. While this is the case with the other two i mentioned, it is not so with the 67 Gigapixel image of Corcoado
This becomes considerably less impressive when you realize that this image is done with sponsorship from major partners, whereas images like the Dubai picture, or the 50 Gigapixel image in Vienna were both done by individuals.
On the contrary, the record is probably being broken currently, or maybe even was broken millions/billions of years ago, but the light has yet to reach us, our technology is unable to detect it, or we arnt looking in the right direction.
take photo of all the graves with their details on and people can browse through them in context, tag them with details etc.
I as a mere amature put together a composite image of the 'tablets of the missing' in the American cemetery in Cambridge,UK which lists the names of a few thousand lost personel. One person has already contacted me to say they found their uncle listed.
As a trainee physics teacher for A-level students (age 16-19, i believe about equivilant to grades 11-12) i will be watching this thread with interest.
Some have suggested that we will not be able to teach this level of physics to this level of students. However if something comes up which can be used for simple attractive demonstrations then that would be great.
E.g in my course my students need to know the difference between laminar and turbulent flow, and fast move fluids will break into turbulent flow. If a simple simulation allows the demonstration of this then i feel it would help alot with that simple idea, and high achieving students will be able to just play around and see how fluids behave.

Just to pipe up in support of camera-phones, how many news reports have you seen illustrated with photos or even video taken on a phone. In good light some of these cameras can actually be half decent for your joe blogs, not great, but who really carried a DSLR everywhere they go.
Im not sure how this translates to satellites, but i just wanted to put some support for cameraphones out there.
Regardless of the availability of flash, there will almost certainly always be some people who don't have it on their device, perhaps by choice. As well there as those who haven't run the updates in while. These and other factors mean that one can never guarantee the capabilities of those visiting a web-site. Therefore, regardless of who you consider to be on the moral high ground, i suggest that it is the responsibility of any web developer to ensure as far as is reasonably possible that their site is equally functional for visitors with and without flash enabled.
probably 5-200USD is what id consider a reasonable price for software intended for personal use, depending on what is is. A small single purpose app would be in the 5USD range, or maybe even donationware, whereas a more powerfull multi-purpose program/suite would push into the higher end of that range. What you should charge without knowing more is like asking you to value my camera.
those who share alot of files may be more likely to leave their computers on over-night or have a 'torrent box' that is left on all the time. Therefore by reducing the incidence of file sharing, infinitesimaly small reductions in energy consumption can be made. File sharing is also only one step away from human sharing, or human trafficking as you name it. These people must be stopped before the inevitable evolution to worse crimes.

apparently, this has already been cancelled http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-11049316
According to that poorly photoshopped publicity image in the article, this system will only work if everyone owns an SUV or a supercar.

OpenZoom is another popular alternative.

I just had a reactor fitted to the south side of my roof aswell!

untill you can get all workplaces to upgrade their browsers, the porn industry is never gonna drop flash

but is it enough relief to overcome having to then hand said cash over in exchange for [overpriced product]
that was mentioned in a nother earlier story: http://tech.slashdot.org/story/10/04/12/062232/Adobe-Flash-CS5-Exports-Animations-To-HTML5-Canvas?art_pos=7
by not charging a month's pay-check for the package. And sometimes by being sufficiently unherd of for a torrent to be freely accessable.
it's what plants crave
that is so meta

Yes, use an IE thermometer on your cheeks, if they are hot, your capilliarys are dialated, your drunk, and you will regret 'hitting that'
and mediun isnt overcooked?
